A sweet coconut cake base combined with a smooth tart mango curd will have you dreaming about the tropics and trying to do the hula! Spending part of my childhood and teen years in Hawaii, I really grew to love the tropical flavors such as mango and passion fruit. They are so exotic, fresh, and…

#Disneykids Preschool Playdate
Being a blogger, we seem to continually have a reason to throw a party. Whether we are celebrating a birthday, holiday, or just because, we have become quite the popular family for our fun events. Unfortunately for my son, the past few parties have been girl themed. Not that he really minds, as this kid…
Girl’s Spa Day Tea Party
This past weekend we hosted a surprise Spa Day Birthday party for my daughter. She loves having her nails done and putting creams on her face, so I knew that this party was going to be a hit. She is also a huge fan of tea! She loves nothing more than curling up in…

Holiday Tea and Gingerbread House Decorating Party

Ice Cream Sandwich Bar
Last month I turned the big 3-0. I had originally planned on throwing a huge Flamingo party, but in the end I realized I just didn’t have the energy. Instead, I invited everyone over for a fun backyard BBQ. Since ice cream sandwiches are my favorite dessert, I had to have them at my birthday…

Mickey Mouse Party
Baby Ben- the last of three children. The child that gets all the hand-me-downs, pictures that never get printed, and store bought birthday cakes. Don’t get me wrong, he is definitely spoiled and knows that he is the baby and knows how to work us! I had been itching to throw a party for a…
Yellow Tail Sangria
